Software engineers should be required to regularly test their app on a network connection throttled to dialup speeds.

lol. 90% of the world's apps would cease to work. Great idea!
Yes
This is an interesting test, yes! In time, I’m facing some difficulties because we’re at the end of the month and my connectivity is reduced; and some things seem not to be working so well...
tc netem in Linux can be useful for this sort of testing to simulate the sort of latency, packet loss and corruption that may be seen on unreliable mobile networks.
Some apps stop working even with single bar 5G.
Yes! 🫡

that would be an amazing idea, I've been talking about this very issue for years!

What's the point? 2 years later all phones and laptops will be 2x, I mean now macbook air has 8 cores and many phones starting to have 12 GB ram.
2-3 years later it will move down to 'everyone', just like the $300 phone now has 6+ inch screen with 5G and 50+ megapixels running the newest android.
Just make stuff for current devices, don't overcomplicate, Time and technology will take care of it.
The only time this is real concern, is when making stupid decisions.
